Within a 100 meters apart I found a bike belonging to a lawyer's office and a yellow bike with a nice paisley patterned back seat.

This thread has been quiet for a while. Took a few shots of my wife’s 1960’s Schwinn Collegiate before I sold it. Leica IIIf using a Summitar lens with a Nooky Hesum closeup attachment. The film is Ilford Pan-F 50+ developed in Beer.

good revival!
and now something a bit lower on the fidelity curve

my magnifyer lens camera and just some grossly overexposed photopaper with a visible image as is (no development, like those solargraphy cans).
I actually held a workshop showing how one can build a simple camera and do photos like this.

I just love your stabilizing system

Kai-san · « **Reply #205 on:** July 05, 2020, 07:09:11 PM »

Yeah, just a bit worried that it might crush the camera.

I found this one neatly chained to the reserved parking sign.

Is it yours?

Indofunk · « **Reply #208 on:** November 15, 2020, 09:40:45 PM »

Oddly, I don't think I have a single photo of my own bike.

Often, my first burner pics of the roll are of my front door, sometimes with my bike to the side of it (where it lives when I'm not riding it), but I don't think I've processed any of those photos

Wait, there may have been one on a recent set of doubles, I'll have to check...

Edit: Nope, found the picture I was thinking of, and you can barely see one handlebar

Maybe I have a new photo project now?

Places my bike's been sounds like a plan.

Indofunk · « **Reply #210 on:** November 15, 2020, 11:55:18 PM »

This sounds like a solid plan. Gonna have to wait till spring, because biking season is kind of over for me

Remind me in April or something

Francois · « **Reply #211 on:** November 16, 2020, 02:04:11 PM »

Oh yeah, biking season is definitely over here too. There are still a few brave souls who go around with them but freezing temperatures are never fun on a bike.

Indofunk · « **Reply #212 on:** November 17, 2020, 12:08:37 AM »

When I was young and foolish (as opposed to now, when I'm old and foolish

), I used to bike through the entire winter in Wisconsin, which has winters just as bad, if not worse, than Montreal. Old and foolish me wonders how the hell I did that

02Pilot · « **Reply #213 on:** November 17, 2020, 01:31:39 AM »

I was out maybe a week ago, but that's probably it for a while. I'll do 50F, but below that it won't fly. I usually spend the winter rebuilding one or more of the bikes (I ride old stuff mostly cobbled together out of random free or cheap parts).

Indofunk · « **Reply #214 on:** November 17, 2020, 02:30:21 AM »

I biked to my gig on Saturday. I was not happy doing it, and was even less happy playing outdoors in 40-something degree weather, but there you have it. My bike will be in hibernation for a few months, barring an unseasonably warm day (with global warming, we'll have a bunch of those).

Francois · « **Reply #215 on:** November 17, 2020, 03:01:00 PM »

Well, at least you didn't have to play outside at 32F and have your lips frozen to that mouthpiece

cs1 · « **Reply #216 on:** November 17, 2020, 06:25:43 PM »

In Germany it's still unnaturally warm. You can skateboard and bike without any problems over here in the Harz Mountains. But it looks like it'll approach 0 °C at the weekend.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH flashbacks to my high school marching band days (marching band was a required subject for all music students) playing in snow, sleet, and very much less than 32F weather!!!

Francois · « **Reply #218 on:** November 17, 2020, 08:55:02 PM »

Isn't it strange how winter can look so nice but make us so miserable at the same time?

I can't count the number of bits of skin I've frozen when I was a kid. And few people know this but red heads tend to have skin that's both more sensitive to the cold and the heat... Frostbite even got me in the hospital emergency room once when I was a kid. Not fun.

Lovely bike! Is that your own gravel bike?

Klack · « **Reply #221 on:** November 20, 2020, 07:25:57 PM »

Yes, but from the time when gravel bikes were still Querfeldeinfahrräder (in german) ;-)

This thread looked to be dropping too far down the page, so I thought I'd bump it back up again...

Two shots with the Nikon F4 on JCH Streetpan 400, dev'd in Fomadon RO9.

Great shots, Tony, particularly the second one. I like the gritty look of Streepan. I think I really need to try it one day.

Thanks Christian.
Yes, Streetpan seems to bring what might be called "gritty realism", making it a decent choice for urban scenes...

I haven't posted in here for so long, so have a snowy bike taken last month.

I'm back here after an absence, and I'm not sure anyone will remember me anyway. So what better way to dip my toe in the water but to share a photo of the 1986 Schwinn I ride. Olympus OM-1, 50mm f/1.8 F.Zuiko, Adox HR-50, Adox HR-DEV 1+49.

Sometimes, the combination of sh*tty film (out of date, desert stored Gold 200) and sh*tty camera (Vivitar PN2011 point & shoot) comes out really well 😊

That's because it's mathematical.
-1 x -1 = +1
1 crappy camera x 1 crappy film = 1 good image
1 good camera x 1 crappy film = 1 bad image
1 bad camera x 1 good film = 1 bad image

See? it's totally logical

love the "interconnectedness" of your submissions this week Bryan...
the corner in Winslow, Arizona... "take it easy" in the window... and, my lord, could that be a flatbed Ford in your weekend thread submission?

Tip o' the hat to you sir..!

This thread has been dormant since last Halloween! I saw this bike on Balboa pier in Newport Beach, CA. A motor mounted on a Huffy bike, looks safe. Leica IIIf, Summitar lens, Ilford FP4+ developed in beer.

Yeah, these are 2 stroke kits from China.
This makes them quite reminiscent of the late 40's Whizzer bikes.
While they are stinky polluters, they do get very good MPGs
